We headed for the Rex Graham Reserve in Suffolk this reserve opens one day a year so you have a chance to see the Military Orchid where we had some good views we also had Common Twayblade we spoke to a couple who told us about the Otters in Thetford so after leaving the reserve we headed for Thetford where we spent some time looking for the Otters but with no luck so will have to go back our next stop was Weeting Heath where we had Stone Curlew and Spotted Flycatcher so a good end to a good day
